any type of EFi would be better than the MFi and will release more of the engines potential so if you can splash the cash and get a better management sorted out. as for the system 2 engine i've had no dealings with it so can't comment.

Great engines around 1 bar of boost but they can suffer with the blocks cracking with high boost!

I can confirm the blocks do crack under high boost, I used to have one in my car a few years back which did this. I also know other which had a cracked block
Some of the engines were also built by Vulcan engineering.

I would expect that GUZZLER has seen a few more system 2's than most people and have a balanced view on them

I would personally take a good 1.6 CVH over a 1.9 CVH any day and i've had both, including engines using the US block
